Abstract
A wireless transponder configured to generate or activate data and next step data actions for use with an appliance/device or network, and a method of using the wireless transponder.
Claims20
A resonant tag configured to generate or activate data and next step data actions comprising an antenna, a sensor, and a memory or circuit, and said resonant tag is configured to allow tag data to be interrogated by a reader from the tag memory and/or circuit and to prevent a sensor portion from generating data when the sensor portion is covered, wherein an arrangement for tag data control and management comprises a structure to cover and seal the resonant tag and the sensor or only the sensor, said resonant tag or sensor when covered and sealed is configured to allow a reader to interrogate tag memory data but the senor portion is configured to not generate sensor data when covered, such that when said resonant tag or sensor covering and sealing structure is adapted to expose the sensor and allow the sensor portion to react to gases to initiate next step data actions.
A resonant tag configured to generate or activate data and next step data actions comprising an antenna, circuit or memory, the resonant tag is configured to prevent the resonant tag from sharing or activating tag data, wherein said arrangement for tag data control and management comprises a structure to cover and seal the resonant tag or tag components so that tag data is not activated or cannot be interrogated by a reader, such that when said resonant tag or tag component covering and sealing structure is adapted to expose the resonant tag or tag component said tag data can be activated and interrogated by a reader to initiate next step data actions.
A method of using a resonant tag configured to generate or activate data and next step data actions comprising an antenna, a sensor, and a memory or circuit, the method comprising:
- using a reader to interrogate tag data from the resonant tag memory or circuit and to prevent a sensor portion from generating data, wherein said arrangement for tag data control and management comprises a structure to cover and seal the resonant tag and sensor or the sensor portion, said resonant tag or sensor portion when covered and sealed is configured to allow a reader to interrogate tag memory data but the senor portion is configured to not generate sensor data, such that when said resonant tag or sensor covering and sealing structure is adapted to expose the sensor to allow the sensor to react to gases to initiate next step data actions.
